Mary > Legan 55/5+ Hello Mary, Just to tell you that one of my sympt. was internal shakiness, and my GR doctor tried to give me Beta-Block but it didn`t help me because I wasn`t nervous, three month later I had the diagnose, it`s now 4 years ago, and sometimes I still have it, but now I know was it is. Greetings Sonia Nielsen Denmark NEVER GIVE UP > > <My mother Joyce (68/6 months) changed doctors recently. She was taking > 25/100 Sinemet 4.5x/day, .25 Permax 5x/day, 10 mg. Paxil 1x/day. Her new > doctor wanted to reduce the Sinemet a bit and start her on Eldepryl. This > required her getting off the Paxil. About 4 days ago, she stopped the Paxil > and started feeling shaky inside -- a nervousness that wouldn't quit. She > decided today to continue the Paxil again (she hadn't started the Eldepryl) > and felt better. She suspects this internal shakiness/nervousness is a side > effect of the Permax. Any thoughts on this? Has anyone had a similar > sensation? Was it related to a particular drug. Thanks. > > > Debbie White > [log in to unmask]
